Post subject:  Timeframe of open orders

Hi There,

To be able to do time calculations I need to be able to tell the chart timeframe that an order was opened from. Currently when I open an order I store the timeframe in the comments of the order as tf=15 or tf=240.

My question is, does any one know of an easier way to be able to tell what chart timeframe an order was opened on?

Thanks in advance,

John

Hi

As far as I know, this is not possible, I would suggest you set the orders magicnumber to the timeframe value, might make it easier to select them as the comment can sometimes be modified by brokers.

Cheers,

Thanks for the ideas guys,

I was basically oping that the timeframe of when the order was opened would be stored against the order information.

I thought it would be a long shot

No, because you can open positions, without opening a chart, so the only way is to give different magicnumbers for each tf, or store the tf in the order_comment...
